Never lose a business email again
R2 Archiver keeps a complete, searchable copy of every email your business sends and receives — replicated across multiple storage providers — so a deleted mailbox, a departed employee or a legal request is never a crisis.
In short
R2 Archiver, from Rev2IT, captures every email a business sends and receives into a searchable archive replicated across multiple storage providers, with retention periods from 1 to 20 years. Individual messages can be found and restored in minutes, even after they've been deleted from a mailbox.
When email becomes a problem
The email you need was deleted
A dispute, audit or client claim depends on a message someone cleaned out of their inbox months ago.
An employee left and the history went with them
The mailbox was removed and the licence reused — along with years of context.
You can't prove what you've retained
South African law requires many records to be kept for years — tax records for five years, for example — and email is often part of that record.
Scanners and apps stopped sending email
As mail providers phase out basic SMTP authentication, printers, scan-to-email and line-of-business apps quietly fail.

Questions we're asked
Isn't an email archive the same as a backup?
No. A backup is a point-in-time copy for restoring a whole system. An archive captures every individual message as it's sent or received and keeps it searchable for a set retention period — even after it's deleted from a mailbox.
How long can we keep email?
You choose a retention period between 1 and 20 years.
Can we restore a single email?
Yes. Messages can be searched and restored individually, without restoring a whole mailbox.
What happens to our archive if one storage provider has a problem?
Your archive is replicated across multiple storage providers, so it remains intact and available.
